Old Fashioned Christmas

The snow fell gently on a quiet street Neighbors walked in without knocking There was a feeling of joy in the air As each child hung up their stocking There was a coal fire in the heatrola Which took a little while to start O Come All Ye Faithful on the radio And a warmth radiating from each heart The kids all went to bed early Couldn't sleep until early morn Waiting for presents from Santa And to celebrate the day Christ was born.

When you first wrote this it was a year or two ago, and here we are almost in another holiday season. This is a soft reminder of Christmas's of the past, less commericial and meaningful perhaps than the hectic holidays of today. Guess it's up to us to keep them as simple and meaningful as possible. Oh yes..thank you for sharing the "I can sleep when the wind blows" e-mail. Very moving and also a great message. Thank you! Blessings, Carrie
